Mom called a while ago as we were steppin out ... sorry this is delayed a bit.

The overall diagnosis has changed - and not for the good.

Seems poor Snoopy has some serious liver damage.
The liver biopsy, costing an outrageous $2,000.00 - couldn't be performed till next Tuesday -
why so long a wait I don't know. But the kicker to that is the Docs don't know if the biopsy
would really tell them anything.

Last word I heard on The Plan for Snoop was that he'd stop taking the Pheno-barb stuff
and replace that with a less damaging to his liver drug - with "neat" side effects:
* possibility of explosive diarrhea
* more sleepiness
* BUTT - he'll be able to walk in a straight line again

If all went well, Mom and Amy have signed him out and by now they're all headed North for Home.

Sooooo ... it's been good news that there's no Sir Jury required ...
Not so good news thaa "cure" prolly isn't gonna happen.

Snoopy needs a LOT more PT Prayers for Health & Happiness.
